Online Prayer and Praise
July 2020
This journey can be done in an hour or may take a little longer – linger or move an as you want to.
You can use this journey anytime during the month of July, but we will be using it to journey together on zoom at 7pm on Friday 3rd July – a link will be sent to join the meeting to all on CLM’s database.
